Recently I had to reinstall System 9 on my iMac DV+ But ever since then, I am experiencing a strange problem. My COMMAND + F is not opening Sherlock for me and I have to open it manually by double-clicking the Sherlock Icon on the desktop. And secondly, when I double-click a Compressed File it says 'Cannot Open the File because the Software that created it, cannot be found.' However, when I manually open Stuffit Expander it Uncompresses the file for me. WHAT WENT WRONG? Can anyone help Please?

    You should be able to associate it with the File Exchange Control Panel. Don't know about the Sherlock key command though.

    Try rebuilding the desktop.
